A girlfriend who was nuts about Rod Stewart got me to go see him at the LA Greek Theatre (is there another one?) in 1994, I think. I really liked his Faces period, up until the "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" thing took off - and who wouldn't like the guitar work? In his latter rock period, doing "Hot Legs" and such showed a good capability for self-lampooning, and afforded once again nice guitar licks. At the concert I found myself, some years later, feeling like a lot of the guys whose wives had gotten them to get tix to see Rod, looking for the bits to get enthused about, enjoying the old stuff mostly, when the New part of the show started with "Fascination" - and Jeff Beck came on to play several songs. The guy just ripped and burned it up - and didn't sound like he was playing a tape in his head either, taking the songs to places we'd not heard before. I'd also been fortunate enough to catch him opening up for (!) Stevie Ray Vaughan (LA Auditorium 1991?), and between the two of them it was a three-hour show. They also played together a couple of times, and nearly burnt the place down. @#$% Awesome! Luis, I completely concur. Jeff Beck is one of the few from the Old Days that still kicks butt.
